The Nature of Personal Injury Law

Personal injury cases are defined by some kind of negligence claim on the part of another person. The person that does the injuring has done something that is responsible for another’s injury. If someone else has been responsible for your injury, seek to resolve your case through a formal lawsuit or an informal settlement. The following are some of the most common types of personal injury cases:

Car Accidents

Harmful Drugs

Birth Injuries

Food Poisoning

Gun Injuries
